Scopus Mcp

qwe4559999/scopus-mcp

Connects Claude to Elsevier's Scopus academic database through three straightforward operations: search_scopus for querying papers with standard Scopus syntax, get_abstract_details for pulling full document metadata by ID, and get_author_profile for researcher lookups. You'll need an API key from Elsevier's developer portal, which typically requires institutional access to their databases. The quick start uses uvx to run it without cloning the repo, just drop your key in the config and you're searching academic literature. Reach for this when you need to retrieve scholarly articles, track citations, or build research assistants that work with peer-reviewed publications. Sort results by date, filter by field codes, and pull abstracts programmatically.
